[edit] Multi-language support

I agree with the same argument that User "S.K." provided at NetSuite Inc.. Multi-language support is pretty much a standard now and really doesn't belong here any more than it belonged in NetSuite, Inc. - Sleepnomore 14:57, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

• I borrowed the idea of adding the section from Gmail. It is relevant there and I think it's relevant in any software article. Multilanguage support is not always standard. --Sleepyhead81 15:02, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Fair enough. I added the section back with the same formatting as GMail. Is this acceptable? - Sleepnomore 15:10, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
    • Yeah, that's a better solution. --Sleepyhead81 15:12, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
      • Good deal. Thanks for fixing my grammatical error as well. - Sleepnomore 15:17, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Is this an Advert?

This looks like a company brochure and I don't think the company is notable enough to warrant an encyclopedia entry.

This entry has been nominated for deletion three times and voted for deletion once, but was born again it just seems they are too peristent, although for me they don't deserve their entry, and worse are clearly engaged in a promotional campaing, this is a sad thing for WP, as we can't refuse any other companies based on the same principle. If you want to have you company listed in WP here is the receipe : just recreate it after deletion promissing you will change the content but wait a small amount of time as people are distracted by other things and put the content back.--Khalid hassani 16:06, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

The main author on the article is employed by the company. Feel free to edit it if you think he is not neutral enough. Just zis Guy you know? 16:15, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

The problem is that he doing Internal spamming too, and he has put his company in 10 categories !! to gain more visbility, this is way too much, this is a promotional campain for me --Khalid hassani 23:21, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

The categories are related to the article. If the relevant categories cannot be added then why does Wikipedia have categories at all? --Sleepyhead 07:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Sleepyhead, one of the reasons this article got deleted last time was that you (an employee) spammed it all over the project. You should not really be editing this article at all. Just zis Guy you know? 09:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

No, Most of the categories are vaguely related to the software, and as they say in French, there is the spirit and the letter. When you put something in a big number of categories, this defeat the whole concept of categorization, and its considered Internal spamming. Following this logic you could also add it to the Software and why not HTML, XML and Intranet categories, and so on. Another thing that bugs me too, is apparently another person has recreated the article, but now you seem to be the only editor, so its the old thing all over again. I haven't voted against the article the third time to give it a chance, but now I think I have made an error. The problem in WP as that as soon as you are engaged in a promotional campaign, everybody does notice it very quickly, and I believe you are engaged in a such campaign which violates WP guidelines. Yours.--Khalid hassani 20:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link to Networkworld

Sleepyhead, I finally found the reference to 24SevenOffice on the Networkworld page, but really, is this among the most relevant articles for 24SevenOffice? In a list that has to be actively expanded to see the company name? If you insist in having it, go ahead and re-add it. But I'd say in your own interest another link would be better. Cheers, --S.K. 13:03, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree that the article is not that import. It's more of a reference in relation to SaaS. --Sleepyhead 13:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Madness!

this is a small company, even by norwegian standards, and I do not understand what makes it noteworthy. The article reads like a presentation of Oracle written by Larry Ellison himself. OTC means Over The Counter and means that it is not even listed on OSE. --Godal 18:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
